“…… As for the rest of the faction......"

Lu Ren's words made Sun Quan raise his eyebrows, and asked with a smile, "Who is the leader of this remaining faction?" ”

Lu Ren smiled a little arrogantly: "No one is the leader!" Because the rest of the faction is like me, to put it simply, it is a typical wall grass on both sides. It's just that I'm an outsider, and they're just sitting back and watching the changes. What does it matter to me that his two factions are fighting back and forth? Whoever is in power will listen to whomever they want, and no matter how they fight, I am trying not to offend both ends, earn my own money with peace of mind, and live my own comfortable life! ”

Sun Quan said "oh", and there were a few meaningful smiles in his eyes. To tell the truth, Sun Quan saw that Lu Ren was "drunk" and said the so-called factional dispute within Jingzhou, but he was also overjoyed in his heart, because from Sun Quan's point of view, it is a good thing for Sun Wu to have this kind of internal strife in Jingzhou, that is to say, as long as Liu Qi and Liu Cong fight, Sun Wu will have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

As soon as he thought of this, Sun Quan immediately reached out and scooped a bottle of wine for Lu Ren, and then asked with a smile: "Then according to Lu Fu's opinion, once Liu Qi and Liu Cong compete, who can win?" ”

Lu Ren continued to be "drunk", and for the sake of realism, his words were deliberately a little vague: "Who wins?" In my opinion, no matter how much the Liu brothers fight, they will never be able to fight. ”

Sun Quan was slightly stunned and hesitated: "How do you say this?" ”

Lu Ren shook his finger at Sun Quan with "drunken eyes": "First, Liu Jingsheng is still alive, and although the Cai family who supports Liu Cong has the ambition to dominate Jingzhou, as long as Liu Jingsheng is alive, they will never dare to make a move." That's right, today's Jingzhou is indeed the most powerful of the Cai family, but they don't have the courage not to ignore the other wealthy families here in Jingzhou, and they don't dare to do it if they rebel against the lord and arrogate it, because once they do. The other Jingxiang Hao clans would definitely not listen to him.

"If the Cai clan dares to come like this, the other wealthy clans will have an excuse to unite against the Cai clan, and if they fall to Liu Qi's faction again, his Cai clan will be finished. In fact, things between the wealthy families have always been like this, maybe which wealthy family can take the lead and talk, but if you really want to be far above the other wealthy families, the other wealthy families will never agree. ”

Lu Ren's words were a little remarkable, of course, they were also deliberate, and the main purpose was to make Sun Quan think that he was really drunk. And Sun Quan took a little time to digest it after hearing it. Then he nodded and said, "Lu Servant's words are reasonable!" Thinking that the Cai family didn't dare to stand on their own, so they would support Liu Cong, who was close to the Cai family, and his intentions were only to make Liu Cong a puppet master, right? ”

Lu Fu said: "Personally, I think that's probably what it means. In fact, Jing Xiang's real power is already gradually entering the hands of the Cai family, so why should he provoke public anger for the sake of a false name? Ay? When it comes to fame and public anger, I really admire Lao Cao at this point. ”

Look at the situation is about the same, it's time to guide the conversation to Lao Cao's body!

Sun Quan originally wanted to ask more about Jing Xiang's internal affairs, but now after all, he was just talking about the priests, and he couldn't ask too much. had to keep up with Lu Ren's topic: "How is Cao Mengde doing?" ”

Lu Ren smiled: "Smart, and not ordinary smart." In the past, Xu Zijiang said that Cao Mengde was a capable minister who ruled the world and a traitor in troubled times, which was not bad at all. And if you want me to say, Cao Mengde is not only a traitor in troubled times. It can be said that he is the first traitor in the ages. Perhaps the world only knows that he has been fighting for many years, but they don't know that he has a good grasp of the timing in each battle.

"Where was he squatting? It's just a Yanzhou that is under attack on all sides! But it is such a land of enemies on all sides, he has played all his tricks and strategies, Xuzhou in the east, Yangzhou in the south, and Liangjing in the west. Isn't it all in his hands now? And he is the smartest to raise the emperor but not to be the emperor himself, so he uses the imperial flag to go out to the army, no matter what the world says. He is all the same and famous. In comparison, Yuan Highway is a fool! There are a few soldiers and horses in hand, and there are so many cities, so they are so arrogant, what are they playing to establish themselves as emperors!

"I don't know that although the Han family has declined, the imperial prestige is still there, and the hearts of the world's scholars are also more to the Han family. Yuan Highway came like this, and immediately became the target of everyone, and how long did it take for him to be defeated? And what about Cao Mengde? Although everyone knows that he is coercing the Son of Heaven to order the candidates, he has never lost the courtesy on the face of the Son of Heaven, so he doesn't know how much he has earned back the heart of the scholar of the Han Dynasty. ”

Sun Quan nodded slightly.

In order to avoid Sun Quan from pulling away from the topic, Lu Ren immediately continued: "Right now, Cao Mengde is attacking Hebei, and according to the news brought back by the caravan from Xuzhou under my command, I believe that within this year, it will not exceed next spring, and the Jizhou Yecheng that Yuan Benchu worked hard to manage will fall into the hands of Cao Mengde."

"What is Yecheng? Where is the foundation of the Yuan family! As soon as Yecheng is lost, I am afraid that Yuan Benchu's three sons and nephews will not last long, and Hebei will be in the hands of Cao Mengde. At that time, Cao Mengde, the land of the world, will be seven or eight out of ten, and then Jingzhou will be unlucky...... Uhh (wine burp), Wu Hou, didn't I just say that Liu Jingsheng's two sons can't fight no matter how much they fight for the throne? One of the key reasons is that they don't have time to play. ”

Sun Quan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly clenched his fists and asked Lu Ren: "Dare to ask Lu Servant to shoot clearly." ”

Lu Ren was already "drunk" at this time, and he grinned: "Although Liu Jingsheng is old and has a qi attack, there should be no problem in living another five or six years." As long as Liu Jingsheng is alive, Liu Qi and Liu Cong can only fight in secret, but no one dares to touch anyone on the surface.

"In the past five or six years, Lao Cao has already defeated the entire Hebei, and even the alien races in the north will be subdued. And next, Lao Cao will definitely wave his army south, and Jingzhou will naturally go all out to resist Lao Cao. No matter how stupid Liu Qi and Liu Cong are, it is unlikely that they will still fight in the nest when the enemy is present. That's why I said that the two of them couldn't fight anyway. ”

When Sun Quan heard this, his two eyebrows almost didn't screw together. In fact, Sun Quan also has a very good strategic vision, of course, he knows that Lao Cao will definitely go south to Jingxiang after unifying Hebei. In the "plan for half of the world" set by Zhou Yu for Sun Quan, there has been a strategic idea for this, but the premise is to get Jingzhou in hand. However, after all, Zhou Yu was limited by the inconvenience of intelligence circulation at that time, and it can also be understood that Zhou Yu did not expect Lao Cao's conquest of Hebei to be so fast.

On the other hand, Lu Ren was prepared for this conversation. At this time, although it was said that it would take five to six years, in fact, Lu Ren knew very well that it would take at least two to three years for the situation in Jiangdong to completely stabilize and have the ability to invade the outside world. This is based on the original historical process, Eastern Wu launched an attack on Jiangxia in the thirteenth year of Jian'an.

Dongwu still needs time to stabilize the internal situation, and in Jingzhou, Liu Jingsheng is also deeply rooted here in Jingzhou, and Dongwu wants to eat Jingzhou and then completely digest it, how much time will it take? And the time point given by Lu Ren is lost here, which means that he is actually reminding Sun Quan, don't fight Jingzhou halfway but just happened to meet Lao Cao going south, at that time, when you Sun Wu and Liu Biao were both defeated, didn't you just pick up a big bargain for Lao Cao?

Moreover, it is still the same sentence, Lu Ren believes in Sun Quan's intelligence. On the other hand, on the bright side, he has a fleet on the Xuzhou side, and the news on the Hebei side is far more well-informed than that of Dongwu, so it is more credible to disclose some information to Sun Quan so appropriately. And since his words have come to this, in fact, there is no need to say any more, I believe that Sun Quan himself will make corresponding adjustments to deal with the coming North and South War in a few years.

As if to confirm Lu Ren's conjecture, Sun Quan pondered for a long time before asking in a deep voice: "Then according to Lu Fu's opinion, can Liu Jingsheng resist the enemy Cao Gong's southward movement?" ”

Lu Ren smiled and said, "In my opinion, it can't be stopped." This is not a problem of Liu Jingsheng's military strength, but still a problem of his two sons fighting for power. The Cai family wants to dominate Jingzhou, but Liu Jingsheng will definitely not do what he wants, and Liu Xuande supports Liu Qi on the face and secretly covets Jingzhou, so naturally he will not sit idly by. Under such preconditions, all of a sudden, Cao Mengde led a large army south, what do you think the Cai family will do for the sake of power and power, and then with Cai Mao as a person? ”

Sun Quan's face immediately changed greatly, and he said in a low voice: "With his person, I'm afraid he can only surrender and invite merit......"

――――――――――――――――――――

When the banquet dispersed, Lu Ren was already "drunk", so Sun Quan specially arranged a van car and a few attendants, and they sent Lu Ren and Minchan to the hotel to rest.

Let's say that after Sun Quan saw Lu Ren leave, Lu Su quietly appeared behind Sun Quan, and seeing Sun Quan locking his eyebrows, Lu Su opened his mouth and asked, "What is the lord thinking?" ”

Sun Quan pondered for a long time, and sighed: "The plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky!" Although I have a great plan, but God will not let me...... If Brother Bofu is still here, I'm afraid that it won't be like this, it's a pity! But Zijing, do you think what Lu Ren said is credible? ”

Lu Su had actually been hiding in the side hall and eavesdropping before, but now after listening to Sun Quan's sigh, Lu Su did not respond positively, but sighed lightly: "Gong Jin's strategy of 'dividing the world into two', I really don't know when and when it will be realized." ”

Sun Quan understood the meaning of Lu Su's words, and couldn't help but sigh again and said, "That's why I didn't say it." The previous time, we led the people to capture Jiangxia, but it was because of the rebellion between Shanyue and the wealthy clans in the territory that we had to lead troops to return. Now the situation in Jiangdong has also calmed down a little, but many wealthy families in the territory are still unconvinced, and Shanyue in the south has not really been swept away. It will still take several years for our Jiangdong to stabilize its territory, and before that, Jiangdong will not be able to attack the outside world. Speaking of which, I need time, but God won't give me the time I need! ”
